It’s one of those things I’ve never talked about with other people, the most I’ve really been exposed to journal keeping in pop culture is Doug Funny. People don’t talk about their personal journals.

Ever since I was a teenager I’ve sometimes felt compelled to write about major events, and over the years this has become the habit of keeping a journal that I write in almost every day, and sometimes I go back and read old entries. “What was I doing this time last year?” I also sometimes keep notes or such intentionally for future reference.

So, if you keep a journal, do you go back and read it? Why?

    I’ve journalled for a few years in the form of a bunch of markdown files. Occasionally I’ll read back or search for things to help remember things I’m not recalling clearly.
